When you need some expert advice on what to do next, Dunathan Consulting can help.
We offer a variety of services to meet your needs, whether you need a business transformation, a strategic advisor, or a custom engagement.
Are you and your company ready to make some major changes to take you to the next level? This is the option for you!
We’ll do an in-depth assessment of your current operations, identify and prioritize the changes that will give you the biggest bang for your buck, and help you implement those changes successfully to deliver real value. What can you expect? More efficient and effective operations, which means happier, more productive staff; the ability to handle more customers, more smoothly; and in the long term, higher profit margins.
How it works: This option is an intensive engagement to transform your business’s operations to enable sustainable growth. Our process is practical and effective for clients who are ready to invest in upgrading their operations.
Flexibility: We work with you from the start to determine the pace of change. And we work in overlapping cycles to help you and your staff benefit from early changes, while we continue to work on more challenging issues.
We start by identifying the most important issues. Then we design some practical changes we can make early on to address those issues and relieve some of the pressure on you and your staff. From there, we can repeat the cycle of “assess, recommend, and implement” until you’re satisfied with your operations. We can pause or resume at any point, for example during a busy season, or when you and your staff need some time to absorb the changes we’ve made and to settle into the new routine.
The Cycle:
Step 1: Assessment
This in-depth investigation digs into current processes, roles, systems, data, communications, and policies to diagnose issues and root causes.
Step 2: Recommendations
We develop recommendations for changes that will help your business flourish. Then we work closely with you to plan the approach and timeline for successfully implementing those changes. Our goal is to help you rapidly increase productivity and profitability, without overwhelming you and your staff with too much change, too quickly.
Step 3: Implementation
During the implementation process, we work with you and your staff to figure out all the details before we roll out changes. We provide guidance and oversight to keep the process moving smoothly.
Each cycle typically lasts three to six months, depending on the scope and the pace. Cycles may overlap. For example, if implementation is underway on one set of changes, we may begin assessing another area in need of improvement. Consulting services are billed hourly.

The Strategic Advisor option gives you regular meetings with a consultant to discuss the challenges and opportunities you’re facing. If you’re wondering what the right next step is, this offering will provide you the feedback, insights, and new perspectives you need to move your company forward confidently.
How it works: Regularly scheduled online sessions (weekly, biweekly, or monthly) with your consultant to review your business’s current status, discuss upcoming decisions, and evaluate new opportunities or risks and your options for addressing them. May include support between calls as needed to answer questions, analyze options, review documents, or similar. Calls and support are billed hourly. Three-month minimum commitment.

Growth Consulting Spotlight:
Case Study
A group of employees purchased a consulting firm from the original owners. The new owners had expertise in providing consulting services, but knew that they needed to quickly identify ways to increase the profitability of the firm to ensure its long-term sustainability.
Dunathan Consulting was hired to assess the firm’s operations and advise on changes that would preserve the firm’s collaborative, collegial culture while improving the profit margins. We assisted the new owners to identify the company’s ideal client personas and project types, considering a variety of factors such as profitability, risk, employee engagement, company expertise, and company values. Then we helped to project potential gross and net profits based on proposed sales by project type.
We also introduced new perspectives on staff management metrics to monitor and encourage productivity. Using the company’s existing software, we proposed practical ways of collecting these metrics.
The firm is well on its way to profitable growth, and the new owners have more confidence in their ability to manage the firm.
